City of the Century

Cities by and large contain a series of “failures” that include (but are not limited to): flawed design, poor planning, crumbling infrastructure, and sloppy architecture. These failures are integral to the identity of a city.

Only through a better understanding of the various ways that cities crumble and fall, whether partially or entirely, can society adapt, evolve, and build a more perfect metropolis. All cities share a specific and universal language, which is evident regardless of whether they are economically thriving or physically crumbling. It is undeterred by a prosperous past and can be detected especially in the face of an uncertain future.
